Tell me, what is a Southwind heater? The toughest time I had warming up a truck was in Boston around Christmas time in the early 80's. Not enough antifreeze in the radiator, and when I went to start it around 4:00 in the morning there was slush in the radiator. I would start it, let it run for a bit, shut her down, start again and repeat until it thawed out. But normally here in North Carolina it is rare to get down to 0 C so there is not much warming up to do. Kurt
